Chapter 243: Princeton's youngest professor

Lu Zhou never thought that Professor Deligne would surprise himself so much at the banquet.
He originally planned to get a PhD before the end of the year, but now it looks like the plan is far behind the changes. The Annual of Mathematics has not published his dissertation, but the Princeton Institute has awarded him a doctorate, even the title of full professor ...
But if you think about it, Lu Zhou is not incapable of understanding Princeton's decision.
Even aside from Goldbach's conjecture, his group construction method can be used as an excellent theoretical tool in the field of analytical number theory.
Even the number theory textbooks of many universities have begun to follow up.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou couldn't help but regret it.
This all has a name in history. At the beginning, I didn't choose a name that was awesome.
Still looking forward to "ab" Mochizuki Shinichi has a foresight ...
No matter what other people don't understand, the name "interstellar theory" sounds awesome.
After completing the graduation procedures, Lu Zhou silently took pictures with his degree certificate and doctor's hat, and posted them to the scarf.
Almost as expected, the comment area of ​​his bib exploded again.
It's just that this time it was unexpected.
Lu Zhou didn't expect that he would just send a "graduation photo" to commemorate the fact that Lou would crook onto Goldbach's conjecture. It seems that there are many foreign students who are concerned about his scarf.
Later, the discussion became more and more intense. Some people sent screenshots of the New York Times and Philadelphia Daily to the scarf, and some people turned to the paper from arxiv.
then……
The two topics, "Princeton's Youngest Professor" and "Goldbach's Conjecture", were both hotly searched in the excited discussions among netizens, in the media's follow-up reports, and in the civil society's desperate discussion ...
Because of the inextricable bond between the Goldbach conjecture and the Hua Luogeng School, and the breakthrough achievements of Chen Jingrun on the "12" issue in that era, this conjecture has already been given a "political label" beyond academic significance.
In fact, what Lu Zhou doesn't know is that although he hasn't seen the news, long before the netizens smelled the wind, the paper he hung on arxiv had already brewed a storm in the Chinese mathematics community, and even Aroused the attention of political circles.
However, for the time being, no one has publicly stood up to express their views, because everyone is waiting for the results of the review of the Mathematical Yearbook.
At this moment, the land boat in Princeton has not yet realized what this attention means.
Because all his energies are now put on the peer review of the Annual of Mathematics.
The six reviewers are all big names in mathematics and pointed out many problems in his thesis. Lu Zhou also actively modified every problematic place.
Fortunately, he has not been as troubled by an "obvious" problem as Wiles for a year.
Finally, the second week after the peer review began.
Lu Zhou, who has been to the editorial department of the "Mathematics Yearbook" for the seventh time, has received feedback from six reviewers from Evans.
Faltins, who was short-spoken and almost never exaggerated, summed up his views in one sentence: "very good proof."
Henrik Ivannetz was more friendly to young mathematicians, and said a little bit more, and even placed expectations on the new generation of mathematicians: "... The application of group theory in the paper is amazing, and I am looking forward to it You can achieve greater results in the future. Regardless of the opinions of your peers, in my opinion you have proven the problem. "
Hervgot's point of view is similar to that of another scholar from Paris Normal University. The two have probably exchanged ideas, and both gave a high evaluation of the theory of group construction.
After turning over a page, Lu Zhou saw the final comments of the manuscript at the end.
Then he looked at Evans.
I saw Evans's face, with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand.
"Congratulations, Professor Lu, your paper will be published in the next issue of the" Annual Mathematics "!"
...
In the editorial department of The Washington Times, Keen Larter sat in an office chair, pressing the mouse while watching the news on the computer.
Suddenly caught the attention of a piece of news, his expression was slightly surprised, while holding his tongue, he ridiculed with a smooth voice in the oil cavity.
"Oh, unbelievable, Goldbach's conjecture was proved by a monkey?"
It stands to reason that in a country that is extremely sensitive to racial discrimination, it is not appropriate to make inappropriate remarks in public, but it is different in the editorial department of the Washington Times, because there is no Chinese employee employed here. .
At most, there are only Koreans who will laugh when they hear it.
It is worth noting that the Washington Times is not the same as the Washington Post. The latter is one of the largest and oldest newspapers in North America, and the former was founded in 1982 by a Korean / religious leader, Wen Xianming.
It ’s also interesting to say that what this newspaper has done in the past three decades is not to strengthen the friendship between the United States and South Korea. It is mainly a threat to China, making some discredited remarks, and then exporting to domestic sales for the Korean media. Reprinted.
However, because the political stance is too clear, the newspaper has been operating at a loss for 20 consecutive years and has to rely on the "golden master" Wen Xianming's blood transfusion to survive.
So far, this newspaper does not even have its own correspondent abroad, and even some news in North America will be slow for the first half.
Sitting next to Bas, he pushed his glasses, got to the computer screen, and said with a smirk: "This is big news ... It's a pity not to interview."
"It's not just the interview, we have to help the Chinese guy with the propaganda," Ralter smiled, turned off the webpage, opened the document, and knocked his index finger on the keyboard. What about your press release? A monkey proves Goldbach's conjecture? "
Bath hesitated, saying: "We might be prosecuted in writing this way."
Moreover, the gold masters behind them, although happy to see them discredit their neighbors, did not like them to talk about their skin.
"I know, what is ridicule inside the rules, what is outside the rules ..." Ralt waved his hand. "So, I need inspiration now."
At this time, Pereira, a female assistant sitting at her desk staring at the computer collecting information, suddenly said.
"Remember the end of 15 years? The Nigerian Opayeminok professor, who wrote to the Cray Institute because of Riemann's conjecture, but to this day, the Cray Institute has not publicly responded to this matter. "
She graduated from Washington State University with a degree in journalism. Compared to Bath, who was accepted into the editorial department only because of her political stance, she has a higher education level.
Therefore, her point of view is also most valued by the editor-in-chief of Laert.
"I remember," Bath followed, "I remember he was interviewed by the Daily Mail initially, but there were no follow-up reports."
Leaning back on the office chair and making a circle, Laart held his chin in thought: "So?"
"I checked it on Wiki just now, and Riemann conjectured that all prime numbers can be expressed as a function," Pereira turned around, stating the second-hand information he had searched for. "And according to the content on Wiki, Goldbach Conjecture is also a question of prime numbers, so ... is there any connection between the two? "
She doesn't know pure numbers well, and she doesn't necessarily read dissertations, but anyway, she has a college education and at least uses search tools.
Hearing here, Lart's eyes lit up.
It seems to make sense to say so ...
Bath interjected: "I remember Goldbach's conjecture not 11 = 2?"
"Oh, Bath, you have no culture at first glance. Even I know that 11 = 2 is Piano's axiom. As for Goldbach's guess ... in short, it's a prime problem," laughed Larte Haha from the office chair I got up ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I flew to Nigeria at once, you can start writing the press release, just write ... The Nigerian professor was not treated publicly because of his nationality and skin color. Goldbach's conceived glory should have been his share, but the indifference of the American academic community made him miss his glory. "
What news catches the eye most in the United States?
At least for now, 80% are related to blacks.
If we extend it a bit, Professor Enoch's one million dollar prize is for children who are out of school in Africa, then those people must be crucified.
Bath frowned, whispering quietly: "But that land boat is not white. Does ethnic and racial discrimination constitute racial discrimination?"
If Goldbach's conjecture proves to be white and the neglected result is black, then their report is undoubtedly sensational. If the Clay Institute doesn't give a reasonable explanation ...
Well, the explanation is actually useless, because in the end it will become "quibble".
After all, you can't expect every black person to understand correctly the difference between "11" and "11".
In North America, the academic world is definitely a "vulnerable group" compared to the Virgin and politicians.
But the problem is that Lu Zhou's identity is a bit subtle, and it is also considered a minority in North America ... at least by definition. American academics treated a Nigerian youth indifferently, but did not please a white elite.
This is not news enough.
There was silence in the editorial office.
Even Laert, who was previously exulted by the big news, was thinking about this issue.
But at this moment, Pereira, who was searching for information, suddenly shouted in excitement.
"I thought of it!"
She came up with a brilliant idea.
Make a big news!
